Who is behind the Natur brand?
NATUR BG is a Bulgarian family company from the town of Kazanlak. Since 1998 it has focused on products within the healthy food category, and in 2008 the company was officially registered in the commercial register. Natur produces and exports organic wholegrain snacks with vegan certification, supplying markets across three continents.
The brand follows a so-called clean label approach. This term commonly describes products with a short and clear ingredient list, without unnecessary technological additives. In these sticks, it means a simple base recipe where the key ingredients are wholegrain spelt from organic farming, spelt sourdough, non-hydrogenated coconut oil and Himalayan salt.

How do they differ from standard salted sticks from the shop?
- Base recipe: organic wholegrain spelt + spelt sourdough. Standard sticks are usually based on refined wheat flour, and the recipe is generally made without sourdough fermentation.
- Ingredients: a short and clear list of organic ingredients with no palm oil and no added sugar; conventional sticks more often contain added fats and technological additives.
- Flavour and texture: fuller thanks to wholegrain spelt, with balanced saltiness (0.58 g salt per pack) and crispness from coconut oil (which is not dominant in the flavour). One pack contains around 1.2 g fibre and 6.7 g protein.
- Salt: Himalayan salt instead of commonly used refined salt.
To illustrate the differences, we include an example of the ingredients and values of a standard Czech salted stick product (Bohemia). The aim is to show how the products differ, not to judge them. Values may vary by specific variant, and it is always best to check the pack.
Ingredients – example of standard salted sticks
- Wheat flour
- Salt (5.5 %)
- Palm oil
- Acidity regulator: E524 (sodium hydroxide)
- Wheat malt flour
- Emulsifier: E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids)
Comparison of nutritional values (per 100 g)

| Energy | 1659 kJ / 392 kcal | 1582 kJ / 374 kcal |
| Fat | 5.2 g | 3.7 g |

What does this mean when choosing?
- Salt content: Natur states 1.3 g salt per 100 g, while the standard product example listed here contains 5.4 g per 100 g. That is more than a fourfold difference. Lower salt content means a less pronounced salty taste and lower sodium intake for the same portion.
- Fibre and type of flour: Natur contains 2.6 g fibre per 100 g thanks to the use of wholegrain spelt flour. In the example shown, fibre is 0 g because the product is made from refined wheat flour, with the bran removed.
- Sugars: In the standard product example listed here, sugars are 1.1 g per 100 g, while Natur states 5.1 g per 100 g. In both cases these are relatively low values; the difference lies in cereal processing, not in sweetening the product. Natur sticks contain no added sugar, and the sugars occur naturally in spelt.
- Fat and energy: Energy value and fat content are comparable in both products. The main difference lies in the source of fats and the type of ingredients used.
FAQs
What are E524 and E471, and why are they used in some salted sticks?
E524 (sodium hydroxide) is an acidity regulator. In baking, it is used mainly for pretzel-type baked goods to treat the surface of the dough so it develops its typical colour and a firmer crust.
E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids) are emulsifiers. They help combine ingredients that otherwise mix less easily, and they stabilise the structure of both the dough and the finished product.
These organic spelt sticks have a short ingredient list, and these substances are not included.
Why is palm oil used in standard sticks?
Palm oil is used in food production because it is technologically stable, neutral in flavour and cost-effective. At the same time, it is part of environmental debate because of the impact of cultivation in tropical regions.
These sticks are baked with non-hydrogenated coconut oil and contain no palm oil.
Why is 2.3 g sugars per pack an important figure?
One pack (45 g) contains around 2.3 g sugars. There is no sugar or syrup in the ingredients, so these are sugars naturally present in the cereals.
What does 1.2 g fibre in one pack mean?
The fibre comes from wholegrain spelt flour. One pack (45 g) contains around 1.2 g fibre.
What is the significance of 6.7 g protein per pack?
The protein comes naturally from spelt. One pack (45 g) contains around 6.7 g protein. Per 100 g, that is 15 g protein, so the sticks meet the condition for the claim source of protein.
Is 0.58 g salt per pack a lot or a little?
The salt content is 1.3 g per 100 g, which corresponds to around 0.58 g salt per pack (45 g). Salt content varies across salted stick products; here it is set so the flavour does not overpower the cereals.
Why does it matter that the sticks are wholegrain?
Wholegrain flours contain the whole grain, including the bran and germ. Compared with white flour, they therefore retain more of the grain’s natural components.
What does spelt sourdough add?
Spelt sourdough is a traditional fermentation method. In the recipe, it is used for the character of the dough and for a flavour that feels fuller than in quickly risen products.
Can you taste the coconut oil?
Coconut oil is used in the recipe mainly for structure and crispness. At this level, its flavour is usually mild to barely noticeable.
How are Natur sticks different from standard sticks?
The difference lies in the recipe and the simplicity of the ingredients. The sticks contain wholegrain spelt, spelt sourdough and non-hydrogenated coconut oil, with no palm oil and no technological additives such as E471 or E524.
Are they suitable for people watching their weight?
One pack (45 g) contains around 177 kcal. Suitability always depends on the overall diet and portion size, not on one specific food.
Do they contain gluten?
Yes. They contain spelt, which means gluten. They are not suitable for people with coeliac disease.
